Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, ...

The remaining mass consists of a number of proteins — nearly 60 in prokaryotic cells and over 80 in eukaryotic cells. Within the ribosome, the rRNA molecules direct the catalytic steps of ...

Ribosomes, the tiny protein-producing factories within cells, are ubiquitous and look largely identical across the tree of life. Those that keep bacteria chugging along are, structurally, not much ...

A new organelle has been found by scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA). The super-small specialized structure has a ...

But ribosome variety may also play biological roles, scientists say. Unusual variations in the cellular protein factory can skew development, help cancer spread and more. News ...

“Until now, each of the 1 [million] to 10 million ribosomes within a cell has been thought to be identical and interchangeable,” study coauthor Maria Barna, a developmental biology and genetics ...

The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought they were. Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer ...

In ribosomes, she says, “there appears to be a core that is invariable, and then in the outer shell, proteins that can vary within and between cells and tissues.” ...

Ribosomes are the cell's heavyweight molecular machinery that produces proteins. It turned out, however, that in hungry yeast cells, the ribosomes that crowd on the surface of the mitochondria don ...

Ever wanted to ride a rollercoaster through the inside of a bacterial cell? Now you can, at least in Minecraft. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created CraftCells ...
